CU-SeeMe Pro uses Internet Locator Servers (ILS) to help videochat users find each other. Each time you start your computer, CU-SeeMe Pro registers your Internet (IP) address and email address with an ILS server. This is especially useful if your IP address changes each time you connect to the Internet; your friends and associates can instantly contact you through the ILS server. Chapter 1 describes how this works.

Pick one of the ILS servers in the list to post your information to. You can change it later if you want to by running the Preferences Editor (select Preferences from the Conferencing CompanionÆs Edit menu).
